Light-duty belt fasteners are mechanical fastening solutions designed for low-tension conveyor belts and applications where quick, reliable splicing is essential. These fasteners are ideal for belts used in industries such as packaging, agriculture, food processing, and light manufacturing.

Features of Light-duty Belt Fasteners

Material Options

• Typically made from durable, lightweight materials such as stainless steel or nylon for corrosion resistance.
• Non-metallic options are available for food-grade or non-marking applications.

Ease of Installation

• Quick and simple installation using basic tools.
• Reduces downtime during belt splicing or repair.

Flexibility

• Designed for belts operating on small pulleys or with tight bends.
• Ensures smooth and seamless belt operation.

Low Profile

• Minimizes interference with conveyor components and prevents material buildup.
• Allows for efficient operation without affecting belt alignment.

Cost-effective

• Affordable solution for temporary or permanent splices.
• Ideal for frequent maintenance or belt replacements.

Applications of Light-duty Belt Fasteners

• Food Processing: For conveying lightweight food products.
• Agriculture: Used in grain, seed, and feed handling systems.
• Packaging: Ideal for transporting boxes, cartons, or light goods.
• Textile Industry: Suitable for delicate or low-tension materials.

Advantages of Light-duty Belt Fasteners

• Easy to inspect, maintain, and replace.
• Compatible with a variety of light-duty belt materials.
• Provides a strong, reliable connection with minimal wear on the belt.

Installation Process of Light-duty Belt Fasteners

• Prepare the Belt: Cut the belt squarely and ensure clean ends for a proper splice.
• Align the Fastener: Position the fastener evenly on the belt ends.
• Secure the Fastener: Use an installation tool to press or hammer the fastener into place.
• Insert the Pin: Thread a connecting pin through the fastener loops to complete the splice.
